Has anyone, at any weight(s), a record of title fights that compares to Louis's 27-1?

[Bokaj]

I can't come to think of one, not even SRR comes close, can anyone of you?

This is not to drive home a point, just curiosity. So help me out here.

Ricardo Lopez was in the region of 24-0-1.

Some sources suggest that George Dixon might have had 33 title defences but this is imposible to verify.

Ricardo Lopez was in the region of 24-0-1.

Ok. At what weight was that, and were they lineal defenses?

Roy Jones Junior was 23-1-0 after Tarver I, with his only loss in a title fight being the DQ against Montell Griffin. A good deal of his defenses prior to Ruiz were for unified LHW titles - at the time he stepped up to HW, he held the WBC, WBA, IBF, IBO, WBF, IBA, and NBA titles in the LHW division.

After Tarver II, III and Johnson he was 23-4-0, of course.

Chavez was 32-1-4 (I may have counted wrong)

[Bokaj]

How many of those was lineal?

Ali was 24-3 (Lineal)
